  • About the Game

    This serious game is dedicated to Earth sciences and guides users through an exploration of our planet's internal structure, tectonic plate dynamics, and seismic phenomena. Through matching and sequencing challenges, users test their knowledge of earthquakes, seismic waves, and the geological timescale.

    The resource was developed as part of ENVRIplus, a Horizon 2020 project that brings together Environmental and Earth System research infrastructures, projects, and networks—alongside technical specialist partners—to create a more coherent, interdisciplinary, and interoperable cluster of environmental research infrastructures across Europe.

  • Objectives

    Your objectives are:

    • Examine your background on Earth Sciences - To start your journey you must demonstrate to have the basic knowledge of the evolution of computing machines. It's time to play!”
    • Learn more about earthquakes - Now it’s time to learn more through the knowledge of seismic waves, seismograph, earthquake location and size.
    • Learn how to measure the magnitude of the earthquakes - Identify of how to measure the magnitude of the earthquakes. So, you now need to become an expert in magnitude, seismic waves and the different faults of the earthquakes.Thus, it is important to recognize the change of the continent million years ago.
